I found this cache today on my Mega Geocaching Walk #13 - a 30,000 step walk from Epping Station, winding my way up to Wollert and back down the other way to Epping Station once again. My final cache of the day and a quick pick up here. After the find, I was able to walk around the corner to pick up a bus back to the station. The timetable said that I had missed it by a minute but Google Maps said that it was running 4 minutes late. Bingo Dingo. Thanks from D B-A
A quick find, not difficult to stay out of sight even with all the housing. TFTC
Out on a lovely spring day to grab some caches. This was a nice quick find in a peaceful location.My thanks for the cache, OzArtek and Travelling Sister.
I'm sure I've found a few Mary MacKillop caches in my time. She pops up everywhere. TFTC
The sun has finally come out as I grab a couple of smiley faces while the rest of the family get haircuts out this way. TFTC
I love Mary MacKIllop, she has inspired so many caches. That's a good enough reason to make her a saint, according to me. This Mary cache was found quickly, thank god.
Ya ha! Had some time to kill before we pick up the oldest kid so we set out to find a cache. Drove passed a few oddly named streets, before arriving at GZ. My partner found it super easily, much to my disgust. Hurt my hip during extrication. I’m too old for this

Found by Mary and David at 08:46. We are maintaining the Mary MacKillop cache in Werribee, VIC. She certainly got around. So glad this wasn't close to the school. Our thanks to Travelling Sister.
A quick find on my way home from the mega.
I'll always stop for one of these caches as I worked at the CEO in Adelaide.

It's a miracle.
November 2022. Time for the second Victorian Mega of the year. This time in Whittlesea. What is it with W's? Time for another epic road trip. Who will join our merry crew? We traveled from South Australia and camped in the pig pen. It rained. It blew. It was sunny. It was not sunny. All four seasons. Beautiful location and some awesome caches.
Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

This weekend, it was a flight and trip down to Melbourne to attend The Whittlesea 2022 Mega Event. I arrived on Thursday evening and had accommodation in Mill Park, which was a good strategic location between Whittlesea and Melbourne. I joined a few South Aussie friends as part of the “Aussies on Tour” (AOT) team, which consisted of e.gregory1, Freddo, gridge98, and Team Waldron.
Several geocaching series were completed, which included the Commonwealth Star Series (CSS), Whittlesea Puzzles for Beginners, Whittlesea Event Gadget Trail (WEGT), Whittlesea Challenge Wander (WCW), and the Whittlesea Compass (TWC). In addition, we targeted uncommon cache types, rare/unique D-T combinations, older caches and those with high Favourite Points. It was great to have visited Victoria's two 2000 hidden geocaches too (Victoria's 1st (Melbourne's 1st) and Devil Bend).
We were treated with great weather for the first couple of days, but then it deteriorated from Saturday afternoon with rain storms and high winds overnight and on Sunday.
On my way into the city for the Community Celebration event, we were driving alongside the nearby road, so we thought we would make a stop. After a couple of minutes of searching, it turned out that this cache was a quick find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. The logbook was stamped with our "Aussies on Tour" stamp / noted as AOT to save logbook space, and I did note that Laighside Legends was a recent visitor. Thanks OzArtek and Travelling Sister for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found It!
A quick find here while caching in the area, and another of this series down. She sure travelled to a lot of places back in the day!

Having come over this area of Melbourne to complete a Wherigo only to be thwarted by far too much water, I decided not to waste my visit and slowly head for home while chasing caches in an area that I don't get to all that often.
An easy enough find... thanks to **OzArtek and Travelling Sister** for putting this cache here.

I will always make time to stop for a Mary McKillop cache.
Thank you OzArtek and Travelling Sister

A nice fun happy find!
The little spot is nice.
I’ve signed the logbook and I put a hyena animal figure inside. Thanks!

Couldn’t find the original, but I left a nice activity there where I think it was originally, for those who still want to hit it up until the creator updates it
My friend is dan is being a soggy nut about geocaching cus it’s his first time. But we left a little SUPRISE so good luck to the next chacher.

It was a little difficult but obvious.
Tip: Use your brains.
